I agree that Prop. 66 was too far-reaching, but ye gads, we are in serious need of a 3-Strikes overhaul.

If that's right, than any still-uncounted absentee ballots probably came in at the last minute, having been cast after the anti-66 media blitz began. Overall, Prop 66 is down by a "narrow" (according to the <i>Register</i>) seven-point margin. This suggests that among those who voted yesterday, the intiative went down in flames.

I just read their cry baby articles on the elections and how Arnold killed some "good" props. The had to insert several digs in several places that the folk he backed for office got crushed. Of course those areas have beem Dem for years so the trend simple continues. On a statewide basis he was very successufel. Including killing prop 66 which was backed by most papers and "mainstream" electronic media. I thank Patterico and the Gov for coming out so strongly on this. God Bless both.
